Will you go a bit further today, call both of your senators, and do the past month worth of our daily actions? Please remember: We will not see meaningful loan cancellation unless/until we get back the leverage that the threat of bankruptcy provides. This truly is the battle...YOUR BATTLE. If EVER you were going to fight your battle, THIS IS THE TIME. Please let's get this done. -Alan ps. See last night's livestream. Everyone:
Our interview yesterday with Dana Perino (Fox News) is by far the most popular segment of the show on twitter. Please have a look, and please like, retweet, comment, and quote-tweet this to as many conservatives as you can think of. If the network people see it trending, they're more likely to have us back on, which is key. https://twitter.com/AmericaNewsroom/status/1512435922083667971?s=20&t=4IrMt1PHGlWKA1K-HfbpuA We go into the Lion's (or Fox) Den. Facing all the toughest questions head-on is where this thing is won! Also: We're doing the "graveyard shift" tonight, 1am eastern, on Coast 2 Coast AM. If you are a nightbird, check it out, and call-in if you can! I hope you are pleased. I hope you will help. These are your loans. This is YOUR BATTLE, and it's raging right now. We need you- -Alan 4/8/2022 Fox News Interview! Hey All-
Glad to report that we were interviewed this morning on Fox News. Please retweet this tweet as broadly as you can, and leave your own comment. Hopefully they will have us back on for a longer discussion... Please follow us on Twitter also. I hope you are pleased. We really need to keep going into the Lion's Den like this, folks. Anything you can do to make that happen is very, very helpful! Please also do a month worth of our daily actions. They go quick, and they really help when EVERYONE does them. We have a huge muscle to flex, and right now is the most critical time for our bill, and for loan cancellation. Please...do your part. We need you! -Alan ps. Will you please give the petition a boost today? The Change.Org folks have been doing a LOT of work to help with this petition in the media, etc. They deserve your support, and these boosts help us tremendously in growing our group! Folks:
The White House extension of the student loan repayment pause yesterday is a trick. See this to understand why. Today's action is extremely important: WRITE THE WHITE HOUSE Use this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ Say something like what is below. We hope/expect to get some national news coverage of this letter. Please Do This. If you've never done more than sign our petition...AT LEAST DO THIS! =========================== Mr. President, As a member of the nation's oldest, and largest grassroots group fighting for student loan justice, I need to convey serious disappointment with the announcement yesterday regarding the extension of the federal student loan repayment pause. Before the last election, you committed to both returning constitutional bankruptcy rights to federal loans, and also broadly cancelling the debt. To date, you have done neither, although both could have been done on Day One of your Presidency, without needing any appropriation from the Treasury, or adding anything to the national debt. In yesterday's announcement from the Department of Education neither bankruptcy, nor cancelling loans administratively was even mentioned. This is not the "fresh start" mentioned in the announcement. This looks more like what happened in 2008, where the democrats squandered their control of the House/Senate/Presidency, didn't even return bankruptcy protections to the loans, and nearly $1 Trillion in predatory student loan debt was stacked on the backs of Americans in the ensuing 8 years of your vice-presidency. Over 1 million of our members asked you take both of these actions. About half of them are aligned with the democrats, over half of them supported you in 2020 in the expectation that you would fulfill your campaign promises both on bankruptcy, and federal loan cancellation. These people were the difference in close elections like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan. You and your party have an historically rare opportunity to solve this nationally threatening crisis, Mr. President. Please do not delay any longer. Please fulfill your promises to us, Mr. President. Sincerely, |
